+##### SETUP
+#
+# Here we create three sets of keys: one using "tor", one using "tor
+# --keygen", and one using "tor --keygen" and encryption.  We'll be
+# copying them into different keys directories in order to simulate
+# different kinds of configuration problems/issues.
+
 # Step 1: Start Tor with --list-fingerprint.  Make sure everything is there.
